Hi,
Jim Lunt won his age group (70-75) at the Peaks to Portland swim. A 2.4 mile swim, in 1:07.
I too would like to commend your Sara Everett for a great swim at the Arctic Circle. I was there too and swam a 38:55 for my first open water swim. My name is Teresa Ostlie and I’m from a very rural part of Minnesota with in no Masters clubs 🙁 My friend and I were trying to find the folks from the U.S. to connect and we are sorry that we didn’t find you Sara! Good luck in all of your future open water competitions!
P.S. I love the CALM website – it’s fun to read about all the great stuff you guys are doing to support swimming.
